Wonderful story, easily the best.

So, since you've been dominating the league, are you still using the same formation & team settings? Do you deviate depending on opposition?

Could you post your formation & setting screen?

Cheers
# Yme : Can you give Caca's stats?

These? Or do you want his goals/assists/etc?

Glad you enjoy the story! The majority of my tactics are outlined in my blog - http://www.fmscout.com/i-1124-My-FM-Manifesto.html - although the biggest change is how I have my midfield. Here is the current setup:

2 CB - both set to defend
2 FB - both set to defend
1 Right midfielder - set to wide midfielder, auto
1 Center midfielder - set to advanced playmaker, attack
1 Center midfielder - set to central midfielder, defend
1 Left midfielder - set to wide midfielder, auto
1 Striker - set to trequartista, attack
1 Striker - set to poacher, attack
Well done on another good season, domestic anyway...what I want to know is what training tactics do you use? And how successful is it at bringing up youngsters?

It's hard to say how effective the youth training has been because we haven't gotten any worthwhile prospects through the pipeline yet. We have managed to maintain a wonderkid, however. I poached him when he was 17 and in three years he's in the starting eleven -
Great! So your mentality is still mainly balanced or set to default?
# ashleysimi : Great! So your mentality is still mainly balanced or set to default?

Mentality is whatever the default settings are. I wanted to 'dumb down' things and start at the default settings and tweak things as necessary. In my experiences, I haven't had to do any tweaking in the advanced settings at all, only changing the basic settings. For example, when I wanted to have my central midfielders more involved in the action, I changed from having a deep lying playmaker and a ball winning midfielder to having an advanced midfielder and central midfielder.

This is fine, just looking at his stats, I see how crazy good he is.

# Yme : This is fine, just looking at his stats, I see how crazy good he is.

What's scary is that he isn't even the best striker on the Brazil national team! He plays for Chelsea so I get to watch him in action at least a few times every season.

After floating around jobs for a few years I've just taken the Chelsea job half-way through the season. They're languishing in the bottom third and are completely shot of confidence. After a few poor results I've managed to steer them to 13 straight victories but I think it will be a push to get them into Europe. Then, today of all days, this happened...

Never seen that before!
`Well, that didn't work.

Basically the Chelsea board offered my £500m to spend on new players & a new stadium...

It was an April Fool...

The infirmary was a little crowded for the final, with two starters (Bamba and Long) and a backup (Phillips) on the mend, but we managed to scrape by.
Can you show us a picture of Nick Bartley's stats please?
# MLR : Can you show us a picture of Nick Bartley's stats please?

I bought him from Middlesbrough 5 seasons ago and he's just now getting his chance to shine. With Joe Lewis starting to decline, the timing was pretty close to perfect.
